Work

In 2007 they grew and then distributed 10,000 flowers in Bloomberg's headquarters in London's financial district, as an expression of love incongruous with the cut-throat world of economic enterprise.[4] Sleepers Awake, a work from 2011, was an attempt to reverse the order of nature by raising a second sun at night over the north Kent badlands.[5]
